Conformal Coating

Conformal coatings are a specially formulated material, made of silicon, urethane and acrylic, designed to protect printed circuit boards and related equipment from the environment. This improves and extends the circuit board’s working life and ensures security and reliability of performance. These coatings ‘conform’ to the contours of the circuit board and its components creating a thin (25-50 micron) layer which is both lightweight and flexible. Conformal coatings protect circuitry from hazards such as chemicals (e.g. fuels, coolants etc.), vibration, moisture, salt spray, humidity and high temperature. In an uncoated circuit board, these conditions can cause corrosion, mold growth and power leakage resulting in operational failure.

As part of our conformal coating division we offer encapsulation services as well. This is a process which coats the product in a thick protective coating, providing an even greater level of protection for the product.
